Perfect Peacock for an Anniversary!

After an extended absence, I am back full force in the blogging/crafting world. The last month has been spent finding my mojo and organizing my life a little.

What better way to get back into the swing of things than to celebrate Colour Me...! turning 1?

For our anniversary challenge, you can select any of the past 51 challenges. I chose to go with #12 - Pear Pizzazz, Soft Sky and Coastal Cabana.

I started out by stamping the Perfect Peacock in black Stazon ink. Then I laid my oval framelit over the peacock and traced the outline of the oval in pencil - down where the tail feathers are, I traced both the inside and the outside of the oval. Once I remove the framelit, I cut around the feathers up to where the pencil line was. 

When I ran it through the embossing folder, I pulled the feathers out through the top and only cut around the white part. I then popped a Coastal Cabana oval in behind it.

I coloured him up with Stampin' Write markers and added some Wink of Stella to the tail feathers and a bit on the body.

Here's the challenge this week:

Thanks for stopping by today, and be sure to check out all the fabulous projects by the lovely ladies who helped us celebrate this milestone!
